Fix You is a 2005 single by Coldplay from the album X&Y. It is a rock power ballad built around organ, piano and acoustic guitar, gradually swelling into an anthemic second half with group vocals, drums, and strings. The song was written by all four band members and produced by Ken Nelson and Danton Supple. Lyrically it explores grief and healing after the death of a loved one, with Chris Martin writing it to comfort Gwyneth Paltrow after her fatherās death. It was released on September 5, 2005, and peaked at number four in the UK and charted in the US on the modern rock chart. The track has been associated with memorials and benefit concerts, and Rolling Stone ranked it 392 on its 2024 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The music video, directed by Sophie Muller, shows Martin walking through London before joining the band at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton for the finale.
